The pessimistic view on a UK-EU deal. If this thread is correct about Number 10's approach a deal is impossible because any deal will inevitably constrain the UK's future rule making ability. https://twitter.com/AntonSpisak/status/1309472433703878658

But - plenty of Conservatives are deeply concerned by the dogmatic approach implied over the internal market bill, state aid and future rule setting - it means no US or EU deal, and a Japan deal was only possible because that was ignored. https://twitter.com/AntonSpisak/status/1309472445750009856

As I've said before, we approach ultimate decision time for Number 10. No-deal at the height of covid with likely major knock on for manufacturing? Double down on Northern Ireland and lose US deal? Back down on internal market bill and state aid, and do a deal? That's the choice.
